Last night I found a lost kitty outside my parents house. He is black and white, and quite young (less than a year) and small. He looks like he has been missing for weeks as he was dirty and extremely hungry, and I think he might have worms. However, he is very affectionate and is clearly a pet, as he craves attention and company. He is currently staying in my parents garden, and they can't keep him long term. I am attempting to find his owner, but this might prove impossible. I am planning to take him to DARG or TEARS if he is not claimed by the weekend, but its not ideal, as they have many many animals already. If there is anyone out there who would like another cat, or would be willing to foster him until his owner can be found please let me know. He seems to be very loving. - Amy [PHONE NUMBERS REDACTED] amydavison AT gmail DOT com Princess_Anie on "Full Metal Arcanum 2184 Ep: 1" http://claws.za.net/forum/topic/full-metal-arcanum-2184-ep-1#post-832 Wed, 21 May 2008 08:45:16 +0000 Princess_Anie 832@http://claws.za.net/forum/ Fenimore follows Klets-Xpla. Having heard that Space Yetis and/or females are surprisingly fast when angered and prone to biting off heads, he feels that the best course of action is to go along with the strangely attractive yeti. Fenimore attempts conversation: " Um, so, well...I have an arm! ...See it has a whole lot of functions! I can open anything! Um, well, unless...But it's, um, Useful! You should have seen what I did to Argyle! He couldn't open his case for weeks!! Hahahahahaha!!!" Fenimore breaks into nervous laughter. They enter the Market Platform. The locals are all aware of Fenimore and his desire for Lubricant. The women are also aware of his difficulties with them and have a bet going about who can actually get him to faint. A woman at the Radionics stall blows him a kiss. Fenimore freezes in fear and without thinking buries his head in Klets-Xpla fur. It is surprisingly well conditioned and smells faintly of lilies.

Thank you anyways I will be sure to look at the Sally." Starting to head towards the store exit I hear the request for Thornroot I linger on a bit longer as to my knowledge only the elven herbalist have perfected the art of growing such plants. Waiting to hear what the shopkeeper has to offer I check my backpack to see if I have any on me, if not I know we brought some over as Raerali is some what of a herbalist and alchemist. jerith on "Full Metal Arcanum 2184 Ep: 1" http://claws.za.net/forum/topic/full-metal-arcanum-2184-ep-1#post-830 Fri, 16 May 2008 15:44:29 +0000 jerith 830@http://claws.za.net/forum/ Lord Algol conceals his surprise and anger at being addressed by a stranger in the market. Better to put on a pleasant and polite public demeanour and try to get rid of this annoyance as soon as possible. He turns gracefully and replies "I am the Seventh Lord of Algol, yes. I am not intimately familiar with the layout of the marketplace, but I am sure Magnesium Sally will be able to find you suitable vendors. As for my business here, that is my own. Good day to you, sir." With that, Don walks to the counter and addressed the proprietor of the establishment. "Tyrion Mason? I believe you have some goods that would be useful in my research. May I see your stocks of Adaelphan thornroot and Ildiarian water gems?"

The Lord happening to stride to the shop I am in. Well I guess now wouldn't be right to make an appointment but I can at least say hello." Slowly meandering through the shop looking here and there I make my way towards the Lord Algol. With a slight nod and soft calm tone I greet the Lord "By Ivanellos' eye I see he has smiled gently on me today." "I believe you to be Lord Algol. I am Ithilambe Doronim, Ambassador of Kor'Af Tralon, I did not expect to find you this quickly I will contact your assistant later to make a more official appointment so i shall leave the official business till later." "Maybe you can show me where the carto-techis reside or maybe a fletcher or two? What is it that you seek in this exceptional trading post?" babyacid on "Full Metal Arcanum 2184 Ep: 1" http://claws.za.net/forum/topic/full-metal-arcanum-2184-ep-1#post-824 Fri, 09 May 2008 10:11:35 +0000 babyacid 824@http://claws.za.net/forum/ Player 1: Donald [Market Platform] "Tyrion's Exotic Merchandise: Rare finds a profit!"

Well it seems to be the cloest I'm gonna get to anything on my list. The goods here seem pretty uniformly agricultural or maybe I'm just in that part of the market." Quitely slipping through amongst the crowds I make my way to the shop. Stopping here and there to talk to the people and shop owners whilest trying and slightly playing down the fact that I am an elf, the only elf for all i know, on this station I buy some local produce to taste the quality and finally enter the Exotic Shop. jerith on "Full Metal Arcanum 2184 Ep: 1" http://claws.za.net/forum/topic/full-metal-arcanum-2184-ep-1#post-816 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:05:46 +0000 jerith 816@http://claws.za.net/forum/ Don carefully controls his surprise at the disappearance of the odd gent wearing the goggles. The obvious cause would be misbehaving teleporters again. They haven't been the same since the Magnesium Sally poetry incident. On the other hand, the timing was just too much of a coincidence. Perhaps he had some kind of ward? But the spell was aimed at the station floor, not the man. Thrown off his stride by this occurance, Lord Algol abandons his browsing and heads directly for Tyrion's shop. babyacid on "Full Metal Arcanum 2184 Ep: 1" http://claws.za.net/forum/topic/full-metal-arcanum-2184-ep-1#post-815 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:40:22 +0000 babyacid 815@http://claws.za.net/forum/ Player 5: Ithilambe [Market Platform] Looking through the Market Platform you are unsurprised to see no Elvish marketeers, this station being very far from home. But the local trading custums do seem facinating. You were at first surprised at what seemed some almost impossibly priced tomatoes when you came to realise that the produce bought from the markets are more representative than actual. The boxes and bushels of produce representing tons of the same produce awaiting shipping. Local grossers in the wall shops provided station bought produce. In fact, from what you can see, most of the actual day to day shopping is done at the small shops built along the Market Platform walls, including a store titled: "Tyrion's Exotic Merchandise: Rare finds a profit!"

But, just as you were about to unleash the eldridge energies at his person, he disappears in a flash of light. Onlookers seem shocked by the strange individual's sudden disappearence. Perhaps the in-station teleporter is on the blink again. It certainly wasnt your spell that did it...was it?

Bloody students! Only a month previously, some joker had infected Magnesium Sally with clockwork fleas which persuaded her to speak in iambic pentameter, even when issuing docking instructions. Catching all of the little beasts and un-persuading her had taken Klets-Xpla and a team of very grumpy engineers three sleepless nights. She deftly flips open the access panel with her thumbclaw, and starts yanking out wires. There are few things a manual override can't fix. A bit of splicing and soldering later, a particularly impressive spark of energy arcs out of the control box and across Klets-Xpla's horns. With a soft fwoop, the door slides open. The cowering student inside looks quite tasty, and it would undoubtedly save future technicians a lot of trouble if Klets-Xpla just ate him now... but the whiff of lubricant is genuinely unappealing, and Klets-Xpla knows from experience that those clockwork bits would stick most unpleasantly in her teeth. She puts on the most menacing scowl she can muster. "You! Out! I hope this learning experience has taught you not to mess about with station machinery in the future!" She remembers that this particular troublemaker has had a run-in with a certain unpleasant academic, and her expression softens. "Er, look, von Falkenhausen ran off to Residential; you might want to avoid going there for a bit, until he's actually found his lecture hall. I'm starving; I was about to get a bite to eat in the marketplace. Would you like to join me?" Seeing the blood drain out of the young man's face, she hastily adds -- in what she hopes is a reassuring way -- "Don't worry -- I'm a vegetarian." jerith on "Full Metal Arcanum 2184 Ep: 1" http://claws.za.net/forum/topic/full-metal-arcanum-2184-ep-1#post-802 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 16:54:17 +0000 jerith 802@http://claws.za.net/forum/ Don wanders into the market area, feeling his stresses starting to fade into the background as the noises of bustling trade rise around him. His informant had mentioned a mister Mason in connection with the materials he was after, but freedom from affairs of state (he allowed himself a grim inner chuckle at this description of the petty administration his line was reduced to) was rare enough that he planned to wander aimlessly around the market before finding the man he was looking for. Half an hour passes in pleasant browsing before he finds himself intrigued by an archaically dressed gentleman striding purposefully between the stalls in the direction of the ladies' clothing area. The leather goggles were an interesting touch, and marked him immediately as the proprietor of the vacuum zeppelin that had been scheduled for docking that morning. A subtle motion of a wrist combined with a muttered incantation of power is enough slip the man up and give him time to approach with appropriate dignity.

I'm sort of, a bit stuck in here. Could you, well, um, tell the door you've got, um, only level, uh, one?! I relied on 'Fonard's Principles' to over ride the fail safes before the final movement so it can respond out of order of it's original function. It, well, shouldn't have, um, done this." Fenimore begins to perspire, even in the temperature controlled environment. The thought of a Space Yeti fills him with fear, and the fact that it is a female fills him with dread. Quickly he uses his wits to keep him safe and preferably uneaten. "You see, I'm all uh, slippery! From this oil. Yes! No! I mean, lubricant. For my, um, arm. It tastes awful, by the way! Most of me does. I'm very, um, unhealthy and. and. Vile!?" His voice heightens to a soprano. He prepars himself for the worst, adopting a 'starting block' sprinters' stance while attempting to look his most inedible. He thinks he can hear an intake of breath on the other side of the door.

I'd also like to keep my eyes out for any local elvish traders/marketeers and ask them about the local customs. However I do not expect to see too many if any at all as no one responded to calls made before this expidition. Whilest looking around I will try spot any cartographers or caro-techies to update my set with this star sysem and basic planetary mapping. If there happens to also be a fletcher I'd also as a matter of respect go and look at his wares and compare them with what we have at home. babyacid on "Full Metal Arcanum 2184 Ep: 1" http://claws.za.net/forum/topic/full-metal-arcanum-2184-ep-1#post-799 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:24:37 +0000 babyacid 799@http://claws.za.net/forum/ Player 1: Donald [Market Platform] Resembling more of an open-air farmers market than a bastion of commerce, there nevertheless are a few local station shops with more of a permanent reliable nature as opposed to their seasonal cousins. Hillshroud-7 remains regrettably nothing more than a agricultural planet year in and year out, the lions share of its bounty shipped to feed the hungry peoples of New Tarrant. If the rumours are to be believed then Tyrion Mason, a local merchant in exotic goods, has come into possession of some rare reagents found only beyond the Stonewall asteroid belt and deep into the Glimmering Nebula, home of the mysterious elves. [Actions?] Player 5: Ithilambe [Market Platform] Raerali bids you well and runs off in the direction of the Residential Deck. Just a few steps into the Market Platform finds you in the midst a clutch of stalls, stands and open tables. The Market Platform itself resembles more of an empty circular hanger than a module built for commerce. There nevertheless is a ring of more permanent shops built along the walls of the platform, encircling the vendors. [Actions?] Player 4: Fenimore [Core Block, Supply Closet] You hear the rather terse discussion outside the supply closet and the retreating footsteps of The Professor as he runs off to his late lecture.

Of course, Hillshroud-7 isn't exactly Her Majesty's capital, but it should be able to provide a decent cup of coffee, a few puffs of tobacco and, perhaps, a half-decent mechanic. A glimpse of the battered HMZ Colonialism through a station window dispels the fleeting smile. Confound those natives. Eventually he'd managed to drive them off with a little assistance from Victoria, his trusty lightning gun, but not before they'd put a few holes in the zeppelin and made off with most of his cargo of rare earth metals and primitive artworks. Eyeing the repairbay wistfully, he continues on to the market place. Current funds will probably only cover a few necessities -- the aforementioned coffee and tobacco. The zeppelin's repairs will have to wait until he's sold off his meager cargo and found a financier for the next expedition. babyacid on "Game has begun..." http://claws.za.net/forum/topic/game-has-begun/page/2#post-792 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:51:40 +0000 babyacid 792@http://claws.za.net/forum/ The Game will update the player actions after all players on the player list have posted an action. If a player has not posted an action in one week the player becomes idle and is removed from the player list. That way players can continue the story without having to wait longer than a week. The updating of the player list in this way can make multiple actions on a single day possible. Also players that have not posted in two weeks will time out and new players will become available.

He seems quite irate. As she approaches, Klets-Xpla is dismayed to recognise him as Dr Victor von Falkenhausen, a particularly ill-tempered academic attached to Hillshroud University's Pneumatics department. He has been on the station for months, leading some sort of cross-discipline workgroup. He brought a spyware-laden experimental rat-drone to Klets-Xpla over a week ago, and demanded, rather obnoxiously, that it be Reminded and delivered to him as speedily as possible. It is still in the repair dock, untouched; it has been handing Klets-Xpla tools and making her coffee. Increasingly insistent complaints have been arriving in the dock's inbox. Klets-Xpla tries to avoid eye contact, and dives for a service exit -- but it is too late. "Mechanic!" the Professor roars. "Do something about this blasted closet! It will not open, and I'm quite sure an unauthorized student is hiding in there. I have level 5 access; I really must insist... I say! Aren't you that Clettshplar girl I spoke to last week? What are you people doing with my ruddy drone? Do you realise that your incompetence is holding up vitally important research?" Klets-Xpla's enormous furry brows mesh into a frown. Her hands twitch slightly, massive claws clicking. Just one twist, and snap... No. Think vegetarian thoughts. Klets-Xpla launches into a technobabble-filled explanation of the extreme difficulties involved in Reminding the drone, and offers sincere assurances that the job is being handled by the repair dock's finest employees right now. The Professor has been ranting for about ten solid minutes -- mostly threatening to have Klets-Xpla fired -- when his communicator goes off, playing a jolly little tune. He checks the device, declares that he is horribly late for a lecture and it's all the repair crew's fault -- and rushes off, the supply closet completely forgotten. Klets-Xpla tries the handle. It does not budge. She frowns. She looks around. Nobody seems to be paying attention. Feeling rather foolish, she leans closer and softly knocks on the door.
